i had just whispered a line from "it's complictated"….cracked him up. (can you guess which one?)
i like this shot a lot.
and then this was taken by annie…luring her back into the picture taking.
she had run down the alley saying she was done with pictures.
wendy was awesome and shared the camera with annie.
i love it.
.
this one is my favorite.
this one will be BIG in our house.
i love that MY family is captured for a moment in time….and that i am in the pictures with them.
blue lily has a passion for color.
and you know i like color….so we are perfect together.
(me and the hundreds of other families they have worked with…)
wendy and tyler work seamlessly together.
i enjoyed watching them work….and took mental notes.
they travel all over the WORLD taking pictures.
that is the best job.
ever.
thank you wendy and tyler for this day…this memory….this gift of frozen time that cannot be taken away.
you are so good at what you do.
now….go see if they are coming to YOUR town soon.
and if they aren't, then pick one and go there anyway…you will be glad you did!
🙂
*ps….thank you kim(berlee) for helping me look so fabulous (at least i felt fabulous).
you were a trooper through all those stores…all those jeans….all those shirts…all that makeup.
thank you.
**pss….typepad is not doing some of these justice.
they POP with color and are super sharp.
if you click on them it's a little brighter.
i don't know why it's doing that. and i am not going to figure it out today.

Dana@Bungalow'56 - Megan,
Thanks for mentioning the colour. I did click the last photo and it was sooo much better. Sharper, clearer and bright. The originals must be amazing. You did a great job on the colour coordination with the kids. Not so much that its cliche but fun and unifying.
A beautiful family.

deb meyers
